This most recent post is more of a filler post, as someone from the group PMed me and told me about something they were planning. Because of this, I decided to extend the inn scene for just a bit longer. Unless something happens that demands another extension, my next post will take us out of Timberholde and to our next location.

Rynn stared at the ceiling, watching as moonlight danced across the dusty floorboards and illuminated the motes floating through the air. She breathed out a sigh and rolled over, pillowing her head on her forearm.
As much as she hated to admit it, the group was doing better than she thought. She had been expecting to already be behind schedule, and while being on time was certainly a good thing, she didn't want to admit that she had misjudged them. At least on the surface. If they stayed this way, it might be possible to reach the Underground by the end of the week. Hopefully any trails would still be fresh at that point.
Ever since the Dark Dagger had gone missing, Rynn had ran through every possible scenario she could think of. Most came to a dead-end, as they were simply impossible. Others seemed far from likely. If she knew why the thief had taken the dagger . . . But she couldn't tell if it was simply for a profit, or if the thief knew more about its power than her own family. Either way, she had to get it back.

So, only one more person needs to post and then we'll be able to move on. Again, sorry about the delay. As I said before, life sort of got in the way and I just couldn't find the time. If I have any intentions of abandoning this RP, I will let you all know. So, @geminironin, if you want to post this go around, feel free. There's still a bit of time. If not, just let me know.
Sorry it took so long! Between this being my first week back at work and preparing for school next week, I've been busy. Not to mention, our friend had his birthday party last night. I thought we were just supposed to go for dinner, but we ended up going back to his house and staying pretty late, so I didn't get the chance to hop on like I was planning to.
As they rode, the landscape changed. Flat, rocky soil turned to rolling hills. Still incapable of growing much, but it at least appeared to be more fertile. Rynn breathed deep as the end of her braid fluttered in the wind. "I much prefer the forests near the border, don't you?" she said to no one in particular. Her eyes remained fixed on the road ahead. "It feels so much more alive."
The horses seemed to huff in relief as the road evened out. Soft dirt padded their hooves as they walked. In the distance, the small cottages and mills of Timberholde became just visible. "Not that much farther now." Just as she had said, they would reach the village not long after nightfall. Even with the hour delay, the sun hovered just above the horizon, as if it were waiting to see them safely to the inn before disappearing.
There was one inn in Timberholde - The Dancing Badger - and by the time they reached its doorstep moonlight had turned the world silver. Rynn paid for their rooms - six in total - and the innkeeper was so happy to finally have a full house that she threw in a free dinner and breakfast. "Be in the kitchens in an hour," she said as she handed out the keys. "We'll have something hot for you."
Rynn thanked the woman and headed for the stairs. Before she retreated to her bedroom, she turned to the group and said, "In case I don't see you again until morning, get a good night's rest. We won't be staying long."

"Regardless," Rynn said, turning her nose up at the dragonborn, "someone managed to get into our vaults without doing any of that. And they got through all the spells guarding the inside of the vault as well. There is not a single item untouched by a ward in that vault. Certainly not the Dark Dagger, but someone found a way to take it without leaving a trace."
She snapped her fingers. The guards moved to attention. "As I said before, we ride for Timberholde."
(Sorry it took so long and isn't too good. I had a job interview today, got hired and start tomorrow, and am planning on buying my own car/moving out in about two months. So, it's a bit hectic.)

Hey, @Catharyn. It isn't open, but if you PM me we might be able to make you a character that is met soon. If you're interested in that. We can discuss and come up with all the details once you message me. And, if you want, once you've created your character I can update the discord invite for you.
@Meleck No, it isn't you. You posted fairly soon after the beginning of the scene.
@Shadow Dragon Are you wanting to post during this scene, or is it alright to move on?

I know not much time has passed, but we've had a couple people posting more than once, so I just wanted to let everyone know that there are two people left who haven't posted. Once they've posted, we can wrap up this scene here and move on.
@JJ Doe No, he would not.
